Lemon meringue cheesecake

This is a wonderful dessert to serve when entertaining as it can be made in advance and also the tart yet creamy combination is a perfect after addition to a heavy meal. This is more of a cheesecake than a lemon meringue pie but in my opinion is better than the pure lemon curd version, if you however want a very lemon taste like one of my friends who loves citrus, use lemon extract instead of vanilla in the recipe. As a variation you could also use limes instead of lemons.
